+Add link:https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7034[`X-Frame-Options`] header to all HTTP

++
+Available values:
++
+1. ALLOW - The page can be displayed in a frame.
+2. SAMEORIGIN - The page can only be displayed in a frame on the same origin as the page itself.
++
+If link:#gerrit.canLoadInIFrame is set to false this option is ignored and the
